Souvik Kundu, Ph.D.

I am a Staff Research Scientist at Intel Labs leading research efforts in scalable and novel AI primitives. Prior to joining at Intel I completed my Ph.D. in Electrical & Computer Engineering from University of Southern California. I was co-advised by Dr. Massoud Pedram and Dr. Peter A. Beerel. I was fortunate to receive the outstanding Ph.D. award and the Order De Arete award with multiple prestigious fellowships. I am honored recipient of the CPAL AI Rising Star Award 2025 and Young Investigator Award 2025 conferred by CPAL-Stanford DS and International Neural Network Society (INNS), respectively. I am one of the youngest recipients of the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC, USA) outstanding liaison award for my impactful research in 2023. My research goal is to enable human life with robust and efficient AI services via a cross-layer innovation of algorithmic optimizations blended with existing and novel hardware compute and architectures. I have co-authored >75 peer-reviewed papers in various top-tier conferences including NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, ACL, CVPR, DATE, and DAC with multiple Oral, young fellow, travel award, and best paper nominations.
